Donate Antiques

The Collin County Farm Museum understands how important your antiques are to you and your family. These heirlooms hold special memories and tell your family's story. That's why we work to collect, preserve, and restore historic artifacts so their stories can be shared with everyone.

We also welcome financial contributions to help with restoration projects, exhibits and educational programs.
